V impressive for such a small brand, for reference this is how early on in the internet era it was. Amazon's website back then:

Good bats. I had a butterfly back in the day. Softs were also good. Great couple of chaps ran it from Keynsham. Always made time for customers.

Good article here that mentions them:

That is fairly impressive for such a small company to have set up a website.

As late as 2000, the Daily Mail was predicting that the Internet may be a passing fad and that online shopping wouldn't take off

I stand corrected. As I said, was only passing on what I'd previously been told here.

Anyone remember Lazer? I think they were South African


Hahaha, I've seen these open championship ones in flesh, wasn't tempted to buy, as I didn't like those stickers, I'm sorry.

chris broad using one after he moved back to Gloucestershire sometime in the 1990s (the guy that owned Classic Bat played for Keynsham Cricket club between Bath and Bristol - as did Trescothick)

Defo the bat company I was imagining with the mediaeval font as teenage boy. What a shame I now have the money to finally afford one. So thanks for finding that and taking me down memory lane.
